....When you get down to it, two things ruined the party for the IRA:

1) More and more of their so-called "patriot recruits" became
disenchanted with the effort when it became quickly apparent that it
was cutting the average Mick's drinking time down to 1/3 of what their
forefathers had even after getting married to an overbearing wife.

2) U2 quit running guns and ammo to them on their return trips from
the States after Bono decided to go all Bob Geldof and try for his own
Nobel Peace Prize.
